Encryption is stackable, so you should be able to mix and match it anywhere
in the stack of block devices.

That said, for raid it probably makes more sense to encrypt on top of raid
rather than below it so as to save some work. Your raid layout usually
isn't secret and leaving it visible shouldn't be a problem. This allows
you to encrypt each block of data once rather than once per raid array
element.
